Message: <blockquote data-quote="marcnz" data-source="post: 2722493" data-attributes="member: 591750">In my recent visit to the Diabetes department in Australia, I had a meeting with an annoying diabetes nurse. I presented my Freestyle Freedom Lite (FFL) and she was horrified saying she can't use it to check my results because it was too old! True it is an older machine, for which it was not possible to set the Year 2024 in it after replacing the battery!!! hahaha. So she gave me a Freestyle Optium Neo (FON).I always used the FFL as it takes very little blood, without the need to squeeze that puncture on the skin to get litres of blood out for the FON..Also the FON shows a result value about 0.6 higher than the FFL and that is very annoying. Which one is correct? That is quite a big difference. My last reading on FFL is 5.1 and it is 5.7 on the FON.I don't really like that each strip is in its own aluminium wrap on the FON. It makes it less environment friendly. The FFL with the 50 strips in a small container was more user friendly. No need to tear the wrap apart each time taking a new strip.I am not impressed by the FON...</blockquote>
